Hi All,
This happened on P4E yesterday.
1/2 NL 6 max
Action - fold fold, C/O loose passive call $2, button fold, SB (tight aggressive, solid player) raises to $7. I am in the BB with AKs and call. Loose passive in the cutoff calls.
$21 in the pot.
I have about $250, SB has about 330 and loose passive in C/O has $170.
Flop is AK8 rainbow. Note that the K is a club but it turns out to be irrelevant.
The SB bets out $7. I put him on something like 99-JJ or AK. It is hard to put him on an AA or KK because I have AK. I call and the C/O calls. The turn card is a 4c putting two clubs on the board.
The SB checks the turn (now I am sure he has medium PP as high as JJ)
So there is $42 in the pot. I am wondering what the C/O can have to call along. I am pretty sure he would have raised with a set. He is one of the weakest players I have seen, so it is hard to say. I decide to bet $20. I don't really want him to fold a smaller A or a flush draw. I am thinking that maybe he has A8 or A4. Anyway, I figure $20 might keep this weak player in drawing or with a weaker two pair. As expected the SB folded.
A 6d comes off on the river. It does NOT complete a flush (yeah). So with $82 in the pot I figure he will pay off a likely weaker A or smaller two pair and bet out $60. He immediately comes over all in for roughly another $120. I insta-call. I bet you can guess what he has now - 7-5 offsuit for a runner runner st8 (inside on the turn). It was laughable!
Fortunately, I could just think about how I played it and whether I could have pushed him out on the turn (or if I even wanted to....) with a larger bet. Have fun with this.
